Skimming over the stuff linked from LC-7, this seems to be the crux (from Michael Cooper) "There is a general need for a "primer" document in the W3C space explaining the various DOM events and how they relate to each other, also providing best practices of device-specific and device-independent authoring." I agree with this sentiment as well. However...it's now 3 years down the line, and the TE spec very prominently links to a blank holding page, prefacing with "The W3C's Protocols and Formats Working Group created a non-normative document"...no, they didn't create it. They said they would, but didn't follow through. > Although, as you say, the referenced doc [Mapping] is essentially empty, > I don't see it as necessarily harmful.

Happy to help, though it would be good to get a feel for some timescales here (again...3 years...blank page...) > I'm willing to work on that, if/when there is > consensus within this CG to remove the [Mapping] reference (and ATM, I > object to its removal). Maybe de-emphasising the note, or just changing the wording (so it doesn't say that the document was created when in fact it wasn't) may be another interim option?
